The objects and outlines of the
test are as follows:
1 This test Is a continuation of
experiments which have been made
during the lost three (early) pear
shipping seasons.
1 To determine If a heavy (7au
box) load of precooled pears will
carry as well as the standard (520)
box load. The use of the 720 box
load would make a direct saving to
the shippers and carriers.
3 To determine If the use or to
pounds of salt at each reeiclng sta
tion (none In the Initial Icing) with
shipment of precooled pears would
be more satisfactory than the pres
ent method of using 3 per cent salt.
4 To determine the effect on
temperatures of loading precooled
fruit solid between ' bulkheads In
640 and 744 box loads and whether
loading the boxes oh the end with
this' type load Is preferable to load
ing on sides.
8 To determine the difference In
Ice meltage In cars loaded with pre
cooled fruit In 820, 640 and 720 box
loads and a non-precooled load of
820 boxes.

of heat through the roof, surface
temperatures and relative humidity
are obtained with thermocouples and
a potentiometer. The flow of ' air
is measured by means of an Instru
